That's just an example I used, but anyone who has a menial job who is capable of doing more, should be encouraged to fill vacancies on the ballot.

That might be the case, but either way, don't you think the Republican party is pretty disorganized and unambitious? The Democrats don't have these problems. They don't have a committee chairman who's so unable to find people that he's got to consider running for office himself. It's just not right, and it makes no sense that we're this far behind.
